Twenty Years On 1Satllyday.
Since British' Empire
Entered War
Orillia Packet -Times
It is twenty years on Saturday
since 'the British Empire entered the
great war. Twenty years! What a
lifetime! It seems so long ago. And
yet the memories of those days are
so vivid.
Was it worth while? The high
hopes of what would be accomplished
have not been realised' The world
seems no better than it was for all
the sacrifice that was made. In many
respects it is worse -and the .bur-
dens and suffering remain. The na-
tion whose ambitious will -to -powers
was held primarily responsible for
the conflict is again a menace to the
peace of the world held back only by
the fact that she has not yet regain-
ed her military strength.
And yet, looking back, it is scarce-
ly possible to believe that the British
rulers of those days were mistaken
in tie course, they took. I -Lad they
done otherwise, the situation to-daY
might have been meth worse than it
is. And there would havebeen with
it a sense of neglected responsibility
--the responsibility that comes with
power. It is the vogue to declare
nowadays that fear was the root
cause of the great war. Let at thank
God that, in the case of the British
'Empire,that fear did not take the
form of cowardice, the fear most to
be feared,
Whet of the future? Ah, who can
tell? The League of Nations, as an
organ of peace, has been wrecked on
the rock of sovereignty. Nations are
unwilling to entrust their destiny to
the judgment of their peers. Nation-
alism has completely eclipsed inter-
nationalism ifor this generation, Id-
ealism has been forced to face real-
ities. And the reality is that the na-
tions of Europe are more heavily
armed than ever, are bent on follow-
ing
ollowing their •own courses, and are sus-
picious one of -the other. Russia, in-
ternationally, is stiII an unknown
quantity, while Japan has taken over
the hegemony of the Far East, and is
prepared to resent interference with
her plans for extension of her trade
and territory by force of arms, be-
hind the shelter of unassailable sea
power.
More and more it is realised that
the one hope for thee world is a spiv-
itual revival. Thus only will the
problems created by national selfish-
ness and 'racial animosities be resolv-
ed. Thus only will therebelaid, a
foundation upon which the palace of
peace and goodwill can be raised.
Thus only -will the economic changes
which aye on all hands admitted to be
overdue and ,unavoidable be brought
about without bloody convulsions. The
Christian Church seems to be over-
whelmed rather than inspired by the
magnitude of the responsibility thus
cast upon her. There are those tv110
look with hope to the Oxford Group
Movement to furnish the spiritual im-
pulse required to set in motion the
forces that -will instil renewed life
into the League of Nations and bring
calm to the troubled water of inter-
national' diplomacy and of, industrial
relations. The remarkable accom-
plishments of the Oxford Groups in
allaying the bitterness of racial strife
in South Africa and in settling indus-
trial disputes, on the Pacific Coast of
Canade;and in otherplaces have giv-
en the leaders wide visions of the po-
tentialities of the movement. * These
have been accentuated by the remark-
able intefnational house party held in
Oxford last month. '•If these expec-
tations ;can be fulfilled it would be an
incalculable service to the world.
Meantime; in an armed world, in
which aggressive nations still stand
ready to enforce their will by arms
if they see the opportunity, there is
nothing for the peace loving nations
to do but to be ,prepared to defend
their liberties by the same means if
necessary. To do otherwise tvogld be
to turn over the government of the
world to' the militarist powers. Let
us pray that there may be .peace in
our 'tiine; but that, if the testing time
Should cone, the men of this genera-
tion may 'peeve asetrue anti as brave
as the men who snood in the breach
from 1914 to 1918.
HERE'S A GOOD GOLF
CORY
The St. Marys Journal -Argus tells
the following' story about the editor
ofe
th Renfrew Mercury and manager
of The Canadian Weekly Newspaper
Association:
"Roy Sayles, well-known' publisher
of the Renfrew Mercury, has become
badly bitten by the golf bug. And
just note the weird effect, Last week
he published a story about which we
hate to make any comment. Our
friend, Mr. Sayles, was golfing. On
a short hole he made a great drive
which reached the green, rolled over
to the hole and was about to sink
when a caterpillar stopped it on ,the
very edge of the hole. Roy was about
to despatch the juicy crawler with
his No. 1 iron when those' lines of
Cowper crossed • his mind ,about not
numbering on .his list of friends a
man who would needlessly set foot
upon a worm. He stoplO, The grate,'
ful .caterpillar gave his body a twist
and the ball dropped in the hole. We
wonder if all those 'hole -in -one stor-
ies shouldn't be banned by polite so-

LU!OKNOi'Wi: While returning

an, was injured', she receiving serious
scalp injuries, when she was thrown

two cousins, Miss Irene Hogan; R.N.,
and Denis Hogan, did not 'receive any
injuries except a shaking up. The
latter are daughter and son of Mr.
and hfrs, Michael Hogan also of Ash-
field. Miss Irene Hogan, who is a
nurse, was able to attend to her eau
sin. In the meantime the boys obtain-
ed the other Hogan car and took the
injured girl to Goderich Hospital

first to be mare serious, On 'Monday
she was reported as doing fine, dan-
ger of concussion thought to be over.
The ear received only slight damage,
the windshield and one front wheel
being broken. Tho accident is said to
have been caused by glaring head-
lights on a passing ear which blinded

HEBREW LANGUAGE
Hebrew, like Latin and classic
Greek, is a literary, and not a collo-
quial language. The exact time when
Hebrew ceased to be the living, ver-
nacular language of the Jews is not
known. Some Hebraists maintain that
they lost the living use of the Hebrew
during the Babylonish captivity, bus
the belief of many is that they re
twined the partial use of it for some
time after their return to Palestine,
and lost it by degrees, There is no
convincing evidence, however, to
show exactly when it became a vir-
tually dead language, although there
are satisfactory reasons for declaring
that it•gave place to a corrupted form
of the Aramaic language, a mixture
of Syrian and Chaldean or Babylonish
speech called the Syro-Chaldaic dial-
ect, several hundred years before the
Christian era, and that more than a
century before this era it ceased to
be used even as a written language
and was thereafter studied only ns
the language of the sacred books, by
the learned.

Twenty Years On 1Satllyday.
Since British' Empire
Entered War
Orillia Packet -Times
It is twenty years on Saturday
since 'the British Empire entered the
great war. Twenty years! What a
lifetime! It seems so long ago. And
yet the memories of those days are
so vivid.
Was it worth while? The high
hopes of what would be accomplished
have not been realised' The world
seems no better than it was for all
the sacrifice that was made. In many
respects it is worse -and the .bur-
dens and suffering remain. The na-
tion whose ambitious will -to -powers
was held primarily responsible for
the conflict is again a menace to the
peace of the world held back only by
the fact that she has not yet regain-
ed her military strength.
And yet, looking back, it is scarce-
ly possible to believe that the British
rulers of those days were mistaken
in tie course, they took. I -Lad they
done otherwise, the situation to-daY
might have been meth worse than it
is. And there would havebeen with
it a sense of neglected responsibility
--the responsibility that comes with
power. It is the vogue to declare
nowadays that fear was the root
cause of the great war. Let at thank
God that, in the case of the British
'Empire,that fear did not take the
form of cowardice, the fear most to
be feared,
Whet of the future? Ah, who can
tell? The League of Nations, as an
organ of peace, has been wrecked on
the rock of sovereignty. Nations are
unwilling to entrust their destiny to
the judgment of their peers. Nation-
alism has completely eclipsed inter-
nationalism ifor this generation, Id-
ealism has been forced to face real-
ities. And the reality is that the na-
tions of Europe are more heavily
armed than ever, are bent on follow-
ing
ollowing their •own courses, and are sus-
picious one of -the other. Russia, in-
ternationally, is stiII an unknown
quantity, while Japan has taken over
the hegemony of the Far East, and is
prepared to resent interference with
her plans for extension of her trade
and territory by force of arms, be-
hind the shelter of unassailable sea
power.
More and more it is realised that
the one hope for thee world is a spiv-
itual revival. Thus only will the
problems created by national selfish-
ness and 'racial animosities be resolv-
ed. Thus only will therebelaid, a
foundation upon which the palace of
peace and goodwill can be raised.
Thus only -will the economic changes
which aye on all hands admitted to be
overdue and ,unavoidable be brought
about without bloody convulsions. The
Christian Church seems to be over-
whelmed rather than inspired by the
magnitude of the responsibility thus
cast upon her. There are those tv110
look with hope to the Oxford Group
Movement to furnish the spiritual im-
pulse required to set in motion the
forces that -will instil renewed life
into the League of Nations and bring
calm to the troubled water of inter-
national' diplomacy and of, industrial
relations. The remarkable accom-
plishments of the Oxford Groups in
allaying the bitterness of racial strife
in South Africa and in settling indus-
trial disputes, on the Pacific Coast of
Canade;and in otherplaces have giv-
en the leaders wide visions of the po-
tentialities of the movement. * These
have been accentuated by the remark-
able intefnational house party held in
Oxford last month. '•If these expec-
tations ;can be fulfilled it would be an
incalculable service to the world.
Meantime; in an armed world, in
which aggressive nations still stand
ready to enforce their will by arms
if they see the opportunity, there is
nothing for the peace loving nations
to do but to be ,prepared to defend
their liberties by the same means if
necessary. To do otherwise tvogld be
to turn over the government of the
world to' the militarist powers. Let
us pray that there may be .peace in
our 'tiine; but that, if the testing time
Should cone, the men of this genera-
tion may 'peeve asetrue anti as brave
as the men who snood in the breach
from 1914 to 1918.
HERE'S A GOOD GOLF
CORY
The St. Marys Journal -Argus tells
the following' story about the editor
ofe
th Renfrew Mercury and manager
of The Canadian Weekly Newspaper
Association:
"Roy Sayles, well-known' publisher
of the Renfrew Mercury, has become
badly bitten by the golf bug. And
just note the weird effect, Last week
he published a story about which we
hate to make any comment. Our
friend, Mr. Sayles, was golfing. On
a short hole he made a great drive
which reached the green, rolled over
to the hole and was about to sink
when a caterpillar stopped it on ,the
very edge of the hole. Roy was about
to despatch the juicy crawler with
his No. 1 iron when those' lines of
Cowper crossed • his mind ,about not
numbering on .his list of friends a
man who would needlessly set foot
upon a worm. He stoplO, The grate,'
ful .caterpillar gave his body a twist
and the ball dropped in the hole. We
wonder if all those 'hole -in -one stor-
ies shouldn't be banned by polite so-

an, was injured', she receiving serious
scalp injuries, when she was thrown

injuries except a shaking up. The

field. Miss Irene Hogan, who is a
nurse, was able to attend to her eau
sin. In the meantime the boys obtain-
ed the other Hogan car and took the
injured girl to Goderich Hospital

first to be mare serious, On 'Monday
she was reported as doing fine, dan-
ger of concussion thought to be over.
The ear received only slight damage,
the windshield and one front wheel
being broken. Tho accident is said to
have been caused by glaring head-
lights on a passing ear which blinded

HEBREW LANGUAGE
Hebrew, like Latin and classic
Greek, is a literary, and not a collo-
quial language. The exact time when
Hebrew ceased to be the living, ver-
nacular language of the Jews is not
known. Some Hebraists maintain that
they lost the living use of the Hebrew
during the Babylonish captivity, bus
the belief of many is that they re
twined the partial use of it for some
time after their return to Palestine,
and lost it by degrees, There is no
convincing evidence, however, to
show exactly when it became a vir-
tually dead language, although there
are satisfactory reasons for declaring
that it•gave place to a corrupted form
of the Aramaic language, a mixture
of Syrian and Chaldean or Babylonish
speech called the Syro-Chaldaic dial-
ect, several hundred years before the
Christian era, and that more than a
century before this era it ceased to
be used even as a written language
and was thereafter studied only ns
the language of the sacred books, by
the learned.
